Doh! I lack finesse. Should I say "not so enthused about their boat

I understood what you thought you said but didn't say when you said
it. My mind works that way sometimes. :)

To be honest, this may not be the boat for you if you intend to do
what you said you wanted to do. In fact for the type of weather you
indicated, you might be better off with a Cabo or Ocean 50/60 footer
instead of a 16 foot dory.

The best weather for that C-dory you spoke of is light chop, little
wind and a relatively placid day.

Look around for something bigger with a V hull and moderate deadrise.

Good luck.
